Hundreds of asylum seekers to be removed from hotels in England

Exclusive: Government source confirms action at nine establishments including one near Windsor Castle

Hundreds of people seeking asylum are to be removed within weeks from nine hotels across England as the Home Office seeks to show that it has got to grips with the issue.

The crackdown will include the closures of a hotel in a village near Windsor Castle after claims of community tensions and racism, and hotels in the West Midlands and Cheshire that have been targeted by far-right activists.
